How much can you eat post-VSG?

How much can you eat at a single meal post-VSG at 1 year + out?

1 cup?

1.5 cups?

I know there are slider foods which one can consume more of, and lean Protein which one can eat less of. I'm just a newly sleeved person trying to better understand where I'll be in a year.

Very much appreciate any example you can give of what you eat that are known (e.g., mc donald's happy meal, single bean burrito from taco bell). Know those examples aren;t the healthiest, but you get the point

I don't eat bread at all, and grains only on rare occasions, so it's hard for me to talk about hamburgers or burritos! I could eat a small hamburger patty (3 to 3.5 ounces) plus maybe an ounce or two of veggies. French fries are a slider food so I wouldn't go there but I bet I could eat a lot of them.

My typical meal is 2.5-3 ounces of Protein (maybe a little more depending on the kind of protein -- I can eat more soft fish and eggs than I can chicken breast or steak) plus a couple ounces of green veggies. This usually comes out to about a cup of food, maybe a cup and a half depending on the veggie involved. This usually leaves me quite full and not wanting anything more.

My capacity at 16 months is very similar to Bafflehead's. I could eat a 3 oz burger with a slice of cheese and no bread, or 2 oz of burger and a few bites of steamed veggies. For Breakfast today, I had a scrambled egg, with 1/2 oz of cheese and 1/2 oz of ham. If I am having a casserole or beef stew, I will measure out 1/2 cup, because it is more dense than Soup. If I am having Soup, I can eat a cup, because it is more liquid. Bread, corn, potatoes, rice, are a rare treat.

I was actually starving the other day and stuck in my car, so I stopped at Taco Bell and actually ordered a bean burrito becuase I could hold it and eat it as I was driving as opposed to a cup of their pinto's and cheese. I ate a couple bites with the tortilla,.and ended up sucking the Beans out of the rest. I would say I ate 3/4 of it. I'm 9 months out. I was actually surprised I could eat as much of it as I could....

Here's a typical day's food for me. I've been eating pretty much this amount everyday since my 1 year surgerversary. :-)
